Commission: Nano-na. Encounter

As Elizabeth woke up, the things that had happened yesterday seemed to be a dream. The way Jacob had been in her room, him locking the door, him coming at her, teasing her, touching her, before finally going all the way with her. she shook her head, that couldn’t have happened. as she sat up in her bed, she saw she was wearing her white night gown. As she saw it, she wondered; when did I put this on?

as she wondered about that, she smelled something; someone was putting on a fresh pot of tea. She stretched and fully got out of bed, before seeing who it was that was brewing the tea. Jacob stood there, topless, before turning around, pouring a cup of tea for her and for himself, before putting them down on her table, ‘good morning sleeping beauty. I hope you’ve had a chance to rest up after everything we did yesterday.’

Elizabeth stood as if she had been paralyzed, ‘after everything we did yesterday? What exactly did we do yesterday?’ Jacob looked surprised, before grinning and walking toward her, ‘well, some of this was involved.’ He gently placed a kiss on her lips, before pulling her closer and deepening their kiss. In a slow response, she wrapped her arms around him, before feeling his hands on her hips, slowly pulling up her night gown. She broke their kiss and stepped backwards.

Jacob grinned, ‘remember now Lizzy?’ she nodded, mumbling something about having thought it having been a dream. Jacob shook his head and sat down at her table, ‘no, it wasn’t a dream. But, after we were finished,… which took about three rounds from me,… you were so exhausted that you fell asleep right after. so, since I couldn’t leave you like that, I put that night gown on you. in other words; you’re not wearing anything beneath it.’

Elizabeth blushed, looked at herself, before looking through the room. she saw her clothes and walked to them, picking them up, before looking around for a safe place to change. Jacob chuckled as he had a sip of tea, ‘why look for some privacy? I’ve already seen all your private parts,… and touched them too.’ Elizabeth turned around, hiding the fact her blush deepened, before sighing and taking off the night gown and quickly slipping on her pants and shirt, before easing up and putting on her sock and her boots. her blush having subsided, she sat down with Jacob and joined him for a cup of tea.

as they finished drinking their tea, Elizabeth made a quick breakfast for them of bread, jam and some milk. As they ate, Jacob began talking, ‘there’s also something else. Another reason why I’m still here. Evie send me a messenger pigeon and it seems she’s found another templar; our next target. You’re invited to come too, in case you’re interested.’ Elizabeth smiled, finally some normal action, ‘sure, I’m in.’ Jacob grinned, ‘good. And, if we succeed, how about we celebrate with what we did yesterday?’ Elizabeth frowned through the new blush, ‘… maybe.’ Jacob nodded, he could live with that.

after breakfast, the two left to meet up with Evie, who would meet them in front of a building, which she had stated in the letter she send Jacob. As such, he drove the carriage to this building, where they met up with her. as they met up, they discussed what they would do and where the target was most likely within this building. As such, Evie would go over the wall, Jacob would climb onto another building and use his zip line to get over the wall from another side. And Elizabeth would go to the other side of the building, where she would go through the back entrance, when an opportune moment presented itself; or when she made such a moment.

the three of them split up, knowing they would meet inside. As Elizabeth reached the back of the building, she noticed a guard was posted there. Luckily it was only one. She hid behind some bushes, before drawing her knife and stabbed a bypassing man in his leg, before using her pistol and shooting into the air a few times. Everyone was shocked and some people started running. She put on a scared face and ran toward the guard, ‘sir! There’s a mad man over there with a gun! Please help!’ the man nodded and ran to where the gun shots had come from. And as he left his post, Elizabeth snuck in and closed the door behind her, before quickly making her way to the building.

as she made her way through the building, Elizabeth heard some noises in the distance. It sounded like a fight to her. she ran toward the noises, up two stairs, before running down a hallway. At the end of it she saw Jacob fighting with a templar in some fancy clothes. And this man managed to hold his own against Jacob. Or at least he managed to dodge or block most of Jacob’s attacks. She shot out her zip line low to the ground. Jacob noticed it and made a wide kick. The templar stepped back, hit the rope with his leg and was tackled by it and knocked over it by Jacob’s kick.

but as this man fell, hit hat fell off and she got a good look at his face. it resembled hers, as well as a man she knew; her father. But there were differences. But as she looked around, she noticed she had wondered why this place had looked familiar. The only times when she had been allowed outside the walls of the palace, was when she went to visit her uncle; the templar lying there on the ground. The man jumped up again and attacked Jacob again.

she ran forward, pulled her hood off and stepped in the middle of their fight, ‘please stop fighting!’ Jacob and her uncle both stopped their attack and Elizabeth turned to their target, ‘sorry for the sudden surprise visit. It’s been a while; uncle.’ The man’s eyes opened in surprise, before he looked her in the face more closely, ‘Elizabeth? Lizzy? My little niece now grown up? … and,… working with an assassin it seems.’

Elizabeth nodded, ‘indeed. But I had heard we had come here to take out a templar. I had no idea it would be you. I had no idea that you were even a member of the templar order.’ The man than shook his head, ‘no, no no no! you cannot be my niece! This is a trick. She disappeared years ago. Just because you have the same hair color and your face bears some resemblance to hers, I do not believe you’re her.’ Elizabeth smiled, ‘if you were not my uncle; why would I have stepped in to stop the fight. And if you still don’t believe me,…’ she removed the bandages from her left hand, revealing the symbol of the monarchy. Her uncle nodded and put his left hand on his right shoulder, which was where he had his symbol.

as the two long lost family members started talking about what had happened to them over the years, Jacob seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the scene, letting her chat with her uncle for old time’s sake. And he had probably gone to find Evie to let her know something had come up.

but as they were talking, running footsteps could be heard and uncle and niece looked in their direction, only to find Ethan, Elizabeth’s little brother, running toward them, seemingly with a paniced look on his face. before fully turning to her brother, she whispered into her uncle’s ear, ‘don’t tell him I was with an assassin.’ He nodded, ‘fine, and you don’t tell him anything about me and the templar order.’ She nodded and both of them looked at Ethan.

the little boy seemed surprised to see her older sister standing here with their uncle, ‘sis? What are you doing here?’ she smiled, ‘well,… after meeting with you, I wondered how someone who was more of a father to me than our actual father was doing. So, for that reason, I came to pay our uncle a visit.’ Their uncle nodded, to show that she was telling the truth. She smiled, ‘so, aside from me Ethan, what are you doing here?’ he smiled, stepped forward and hugged her, ‘so nice to see you again sis. Like I promised, I didn’t tell mom and dad. As for why I’m here; I’m staying with uncle for a few days.’ their uncle nodded, ‘yes. Your mother and father had some other business to take care of. So; that leaves me to take care of my dear nephew Ethan.’

Ethan smiled, but Elizabeth noticed he had a gun in his hands. As she pointed at it he replied, ‘this is dad’s pistol. But now that I see you,… both of you. I have to tell you; something horrible has happened.’
